Title %%title%%

Hi there!

I take it you’ve migrated from another SEO plugin? The SEO Framework doesn’t support those fields out of the box, and you should change them when you find the time.

Until then, this little snippet (which you can add to your (child-)theme’s functions.php file) will cure most of the titles; but it shouldn’t be relied upon indefinitely. You should use it as a transitional fix until you manually update the titles:

add_filter( 'the_seo_framework_title_from_custom_field', function( $title, $args ) {

	$tsf = the_seo_framework();

	// Add the title. This is a bit heavy, so we test for it, first.
	if ( false !== strpos( $title, '%%title%%' ) ) {
		$title = str_replace( '%%title%%', $tsf->get_raw_generated_title( $args ), $title );
	}

	// Change separators.
	$title = str_replace( '%%sep%%', $tsf->get_title_separator(), $title );

	// Remove the sitename and pagination. TSF adds this out of the box.
	$title = str_replace( [ '%%sitename%%', '%%page%%' ], '', $title );

	return $title;
}, 10, 2 );

More examples will be appreciated if you are still finding issues. I might release a full encompassing snippet for public use in the near future, which cover all of Yoast SEO’s title and description placeholders; so a transition will be seamless.

I hope this helps! Cheers 🙂
